I can't find any information in the FAQ but I did see a post in Bugs but it showed no solution.

Anyone have experience or ideas?

I installed MySQL notifier 1.1.6 and it was working properly until I restarted the computer. First it was telling me that the MySQL56 service was not responding, I found a previous post that suggested to delete the service and add it again and for some that solved the problem. I've done that and tried restarting the server. It flashes yellow for a couple of seconds (so changes to start pending) and then goes back to stopped. The error that is displayed after it is stopped says:

The service MySQL56 failed the most recent status change request with the message time out has expired and the operation has not been completed. If problem persists please restart MySQL Notifier.

This is followed by a high severity error "log file path must be defined before calling the WriteToLog method".

This occurs when upon startup of Notifier the config files in %APP_DATA%/Roaming/Oracle/MySQL Notifier are missing. Subsequent launch attempts also fail, but with an "Error Subscribing to WMI Events" message. I'm trying to install the server locally, of course, and encouraged by other posts tried launching the Notifier with the server installed in different locations, running and shut down, etc.

MySql Workbench is still far from the lightness, stability and liability of SqlYog, but some progress has been made, and now sometimes a few weeks elapse before you scratch it when calling it from the start menu of Windows XP, and you have to uninstall and reinstall it. Unless this means I now commit less errors ?

But now that Javier helped me to install MySql Notifier, let us see about using this one to call that one.

First a simple case : without (or with few) parameters.

After a right click on the MySql Notifier icon in the notification area, I click on "Configure instance" and wait a minute or two.

A "Connect to database" dialog box appears in front of the main form of MySql Workbench, and proposes me to select a connection amongst those that have been created.

I click on OK. If I selected a connection that does not have its password in the vault, I am asked to provide it. Then, I am informed that MySql Workbench has encountered a problem, as a precision I know that it is a lack of memory, and I am proposed to report a bug.

First of all, MSInfo32 evaluates that I have a little more thant 316 MB of physical memory available, and not far from 2 GB of virtual memory.

I click on Report bug, and I get a 203 error at 0FDE2A00. Before having the time to validate this msgbox, I obtain a runtime error 255 at 7C812FD3.

Another time I was not proposed to report a bug, but to debug the application through Visual Studio (I should have gained time by re-registering drwtsn32). It appeared I had an arror 5 at address 8. I was given the hexadecimal address of the interested instruction, but as this is in machine language and I imagine the debugging informations are not available, I shall not know more and I presume that address is useless.

So, to say it another way, a needed authorization has not been provided. Perhaps somebody here knows what there is at address 8 ?

* * *

EDIT on March 10th : I had to uninstall / reinstall MySql Workbench, after that with the "Configure instance" of MySql Notifier, I open MySql Workbench with a dialog box to edit a connection. If I close the dialog box, it seems I can use MySql Workbench normally.
On the other hand if I choose OK in the dialog box, I receive a memory error msgbox and MySql Workbench closes.]]>Hubert CANEVETMySQL NotifierThu, 21 Aug 2014 06:10:42 +0000http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?173,608107,608107#msg-608107[Solved] MySQL Notifyer installation (was : Strange installation) (11 replies)http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?173,608107,608107#msg-608107
I shall try and keep clear, although I shall express two symptoms at different levels.

I once had MySql 5.0 on my machine, and when I installed version 5.6, both were staying on the machine. Data is present only in 5.6.

It then appears a problem to which I did not think : when I launch FileHippo UpdateChecker, it tells me that I have MySql 5.0, and that I should migrate it to MySql 5.6.

So, maybe it would be a good idea to uninstall version 5.0. I tried to do it from add/remove programs from the config panel, it said OK, but the folder "Program Files\MySQL\MySql Server 5.0" is still there, and does not want to be deleted as appearently something is locked in it. Do I have to completely uninstall both versions to be able to uninstall 5.0 ? Or would it be a good idea to delete that folder in Windows safe mode ?

The second problem justifies the choice of the forum, as when starting a Windows session, I see that MySql Notifier meets a high severity error. I saw there are numerous threads about that question, that for at least some of them were closed without solving the problem, encouraging people to open more and more threads still about the same question, so that if one of them contains the answer, you have no way to know which one, as some threads contain proposed solutions, and nothing about the results when the issuer tries them.

I verified the presence of my.ini in "Program Files\MySQL\MySql Server 5.6", copied it to a few other directories in case it would be searched for elsewhere, with no success. Even an administrator cannot launch MySql Notifier.

The message displays the whole calls pile, pointing out a missing file problem. Well, do not you feel that less information about the calling pile and more about the path of the searched file woud help more in this particular case ?

Copying my.ini to several folders does not help (and I verified that logged in users have read and write access to it, at least in the directory where it was initially found), but it contains the names of several log files, supposing one of them misses, what is supposed to happen ? Is it then created, or does it through an exception ?

I have to precise that MySql 5.5 seems to function correctly (except a problem of character set about which I opened a thread). Well, to open the MySql applications, I call them from shortcuts in the start menu of Windows XP.

Just some side effects in fact ...

Perhaps we shall have a good surprise, but maybe solving that question of missing file can wait a new version that displays the path of the missing file ?

Is keeping two versions on disk a security issue, if you need only one ?]]>Hubert CANEVETMySQL NotifierMon, 10 Mar 2014 21:42:03 +0000http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?173,605658,605658#msg-605658High Severity Error (1 reply)http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?173,605658,605658#msg-605658

Is it even possible to run MySql on Windows XP Home SP3?

I am taking a database mgmt class for the first time in my life and i have no related knowledge of whatsoever when it comes to MySQL. What i can tell you is a detailed account of my initial installation of MySQL.

(1) I downloaded the MySQL Installer for "All Windows", which seems like MySQL Community Server in a package.
(2) It was an offline version, and i chose "Development Default" or something like that. (Don't ask me why i chose it)
(3) I guess it installed Server components, then Client components as well. (I realized this Client/Server choice after 5 reinstallations)
(4) There were some "plug-ins" that were missing, and i clicked the download button to pass through. The only plug-in i didn't complete was Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012.
(5) After Server component was installed, it did some configurations, as i could see the messages on the icons tray.
(6) After some time, i realized i didn't need Server components, so i uninstalled the whole MySQL applications and reinstalled a couple of times.
(7) Bottom line is that i deleted the folder that was separately created during my initial installation (that Server component), i uninstalled completely, checked the program folder to make sure no loose ends were left on the hard drive.

I understand nobody had this kind of error, but if you have a slightest idea of what went wrong, please give me some advice on how to fix this. I am so paranoid right now that my laptop is somehow turned into an open server, in which i have no clue how to operate.
